Typing from the free wifi hotspots in the Jetblue terminal at JFK. (These Jetblue guys do just about everything right. I love flying with them.) Headed back to the Bay Area after 48 hours at the wedding of our friends, Amber and Dave, in the Silvermine Tavern in Norwalk, CT. Though the weekend weather was gray and gloomy, there is a palpable coziness on the east coast that we just don't experience back in CA. The smells of fires, and leaves, and moss growing on stone walls just permeate the cold eastern air. Add to that low ceilings, creaking floors, and worn furniture and you have yourself a full on historical retreat. What a great setting for an entertaining wedding.
That said, I met a couple of characters worth mentioning. First, we were introduced to Chris Murphy, an old bandmate of Dave's, and an accomplished violinist in his own right. He spent most of the weekend cracking one-liners between performing original compositions on his violin. His music was sharp. Ranging from Celtic and folksy stuff, to dark, looming, ambient tunes, he entertained us all. I really enjoyed his use of live loops by which he would create rhythm and bass tracks then loop them to layer on a melody. Highly recommend that you check out his tunes.
The other notable fellow we met was Bill, proprietor of Pooper Trooper. Bill proudly proclaims that he is "Number 1, in the Number 2 Business." By this, he means to say that he has developed Seattle's premiere dog waste cleanup and removal service. Yep, this guy has regular subscription customers for whom he picks up their dog excrement. He charges his customers monthly "doos". Frankly, I think his rates are a little too low. However, it sounds like a killer service and folks really seem to appreciate his work. By the way, don't miss the opportunity to buy one of his dog crap calendars.
Well said, such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.

I read this sentence out loud to a group of engineers from my team at lunch the other day and they cracked up like I did.

It is hard to say such a thing is clear.
